So Sunday was #WorldElephantDay which means I’m a bit late with this post but anyone that knows me, knows how much I 🖤 🐘, so anyway, here it goes. We all know that #elephants are our largest living land #animal & #mammal but did you know that with the biggest brains of any land animal, weighing in at more than 5.4 kg/11 lbs on average, we will NEVER be as smart as them & elephants still have much to teach us.

For ex, female 🐘 spend their entire lives in tightly knit family groups made up of #mothers, #daughters, #sisters, #cousins & #aunts. These groups are led by the eldest #female, or #matriarch. Adult males, on the other hand, live mostly solitary lives. See! 😏Seems like they’re on to something to me! 😂😂
•
But seriously, @natgeo reports that 100,000 elephants were killed by poachers in just the last three years, in Central #Africa alone. By my calculations that’s like 10 🐘 per day! However, I’ve read reports that puts that number as high as 55/day (@bbcnews). 🤷🏾‍♀️Shame on us!💆🏾‍♀️Fucking humans! 😡We’re supposed to be #manKIND. We’re supposed to be better than that. We are not. But I refuse to loose hope. 🙏🏾We HAVE to do better than this.

One of my favorite organizations supporting the fight against #poachers and looking out for little orphaned baby 🐘 left behind is @dswt. Their staff is beyond amazing! Feel free to check ‘em out. Every time I’m in #Nairobi that’s always a welcomed stop.

Moonsoon Magic!!!!!
Monsoons not only spells magic on nature but also on us. On our recent trip to corbett when we reached this causeway which was flowing well above the danger mark we saw people extending helping hands to each other and also some good 10 -12 people on either side just came to help others to cross.. we too spent some good 2 hrs here helping, watching and talking to unknowns who in this situation all became friends.. In this video the tractor driver is helping the biker on his right side to cross (as being on the right side the water level went down considerably) and some people are helping a guy to drag his bike through on left side.. We left just thinking do we need Nature's fury to ignite the sleeping mankind in us?????? THIS IS REAL INDIA.... #corbettnationalpark#corbett#causeway#nature#human#mankind#help#rain#helpinghand#responsible#bike#tractor#naturefury

How do Blind People live?
- I always had this doubt of how blind people really live when they don’t see the world around them. I’m sure many of us will have this doubt. So I got a chance and visited this blind school – “Shree Ramana Academy for Blind” last week and it was really touching to see how blind people really learn and live. They are not as we think they are! They are very happy and comfortable in the world they know.
A visual impairment is an impairment, not being unable to see anything whatsoever. So when you have an impairment or disability of any kind, you adapt to what suits your needs! People who are blind or visually impaired can perform almost any job you can imagine: lawyer, artist, secretary, factory worker, etc. just like how these people work in the factory.
When I see them, "I think we are blind - Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see." #blind#disabled#charity#inspiration#love#humanbeings#beinghuman#mankind#helpingothers#loveothers#story
